LONDON, Sept. 15.-The manifesto is
sued yesterday by the Comte de Paris is
attracting good deal of attention here
and across the channel, where the amaz-
ing rapidity with which it was circulated
all over the country is matter of won
der in ITSELF The manifesto is the topic
of the hour. Under ordinary circum-
stances such a document would have
been puerile and futile, but with the
acumen of an experienced statesman,
the comte timed its appearance, and has
issued his manifesto at moment when
it will be most potent and more likely
to have the desired effect on the minds
of Frenchmen. Rouyier's ministry,
never strong, holds now precariOus
condition, and France is ready any day
to hear gifts downfall. To the LOyalist
party it looks for support, and if this is
withheld the influence Of the ministry
in its feeble condition
WOULD SPEEDILY DISSOLVE.
In fact, the LOyalists occupy much
the same position in France towards the
government as the Unionists do in Eng
land. TO cut loose altogether from their
council of LOyalistS and to ignore their

death. The appearance OF the mani
festo at this particular time gives an
emphatic check to the exuberance of
joy, with which France is cOnvulSed
over the maneuverS of the Seventeenth
Army corps, which has successfully
demonstrated the scheme of mobillZa-
ton. 1t diyerts the public mind from
the absorbing satisfaction it feels in the
fancied possession of an army that is
now able to punish Germany, and directs
it into other channels than those which
lead to desire for revenge. 1t how
ever threatens the fall of the ROuvier
ministry. which cannot openly accept
the terms of the manifesto and between
the desire to retain the support of the
LOyalistS, and its perpleXity in regard
to pleasing the Republican portion of
France, the government is in sore
straits. The cOmte'S manifesto may
thus have decided influence over the
minds of tickle GaulS and go long
way towards taking the first step in the
direction of monarchy.
THE LIBERAL PRESS
of England insists that the rapid in
crease in Ireland, including the killing
of Constable Wheelan, who was muir
dered by mOonlighterS, is directly trace
able to the coercion act, which they
have never failed to denOunce. The
predictions made when the act was
passed are now being fulfilled, they
say, and none but the government can
be blamed. The leader of the National
Irish league threatens to cease their
efforts to control the people
unless England will alleviate the
harshness with which it is now treating
Ireland. 1t is, however, matter of
grave doubt if the leaders could now.
control the wrought up passions OF their
injured countrymen. The time has
when but slight tanning would make
the fire that is now SmOuldering in the
hearts of the Irish break out in wild,
fierce fame that, ere it is checked, will
commit great
HAVOC AND WIDESPREAD RUIN.
The priests, too, to whom the Irish al
ways have rendered implicit obedience,
are losing their influence in checking
the people. A crisis seems certainly
near at hand. 1t is now apparent that
the government during the recess
of parliament intends to turn loose the
dogs of war and spare no effort to carry
out the provision of the crimes act.
This is a desperate game that the gov
eminent is playing. and they propose
to force the issue and either win or
lose. Mr.. Balfour is at present in Dub
lin preparing for the siege and battle,
the rumblings of which already begin
to be heard and will soon begin in
earnest.

matters Berry pulled out revolver and
pointed it at his opponent. He is de-
